shisnit It took us a little whlie to understand the direction it gave to the hotel. But after we actually figured it out, the instructions were correct. Take the waterbus on the left side of the bridge and get off at Fondamente Nove, the main hotel is right outside the the dock.
It was on the quite side of Venice, there is a bakery nearby as well as a supermarket. The pizza place near the water has great pizza and gelato.
Our host was very good and friendly. Breakast was enough to get you going. The room was clean and the shower is hot. Room is a/c and safe if you're coming home late at night.
